There may be a whole family hanging on to one of the rope- tows, the longest of which goes F up 300 feet. "The emphasis in this club is on family recreation." said Ivan Richards, who has been a club executive for many years. "We do have a number of racers, and not bad ones either, but they form only a minority of the membership. The club now has close to 700 members. There are 55 fam- ilies that held a family mem- 7 bership. Then there are 33 mar- | ried couples and 60 single mem- / bers above high school age. Al- & together there are close to 300 |= youngsters under the age of 19 on the rolls. Many of the club's activities are tuned in on these young members. For instance, you can see them flying through the air, under the supervision of Ron Richards, when they are trying their skills on the junior ski | jump. They are working up to the point where they can jump ; off the big ski jump, towering high above the valley. Learning young, some of these kids prob- ably are the champs of tomor- row. Not all of them are seeking it that high up, though. Many find it fun enough just to slide down the beginners' slope, which is wide and just steep enough to provide for an easy ride down.
